So today we held a Cheeseburger Rally at work. We brought in cheeseburgers from 6 local places here in SLC, peeled the wrappers off, and blind tasted them for appearance, bun, meat, and fixings. Then we aggregated the findings and here are the winners:


6th place: Iceberg
5th Place: B&D
4th Place: 5 Guys
3rd Place: In-n-Out
2nd Place: Crown Burger (also won best meat)
1st Place: Smashburger

Fun, but I never want to eat another cheeseburger in my life. And I am seriously going to look for a vomitorium on the way home.

[Babs]

My stomach hurts just thinking about it.

If you're ever in Texas, say, like, four years from now when you actually feel like taking up beef again, you need to try a 1/4 pound Braums deluxe burger. Absolutely the best.

I personally found smashburger to be the greasiest grossest hamburger I have ever eaten, but to each their own.

I don't like Smashburger either. Way too greasy.

That would almost be my exact ranking. I'd probably swap Crown and In-n-Out.

That is exactly how I would rank them.

I am taken aback by this list. I've never had a smashburger, but I certainly wouldn't ever put Crownburger or an In N Out above a 5 guys. There seems to be a disturbing amount of complacency with this list.

What is B&D?

It was a blind taste test. When the results were announced, people were surprised by 5 Guys poor showing.

My own theory is that a 5 Guys cheeseburger, in all it's greasified glory, does not age well. The burgers were about 30 minutes old.

What is B&D?

Im not sure myself. I think it's a Ute favorite, the place is near the U.

The appeal of B&D is the $.99 hamburger special on Tuesdays.

Another plausible theory could be that the burger didn't get customized the way it does when you order it yourself at the counter w/ all the jalepenos, etc.

I really don't have any thing against the In N Out-- I love the double double animal style-- I just don't even think it's in the same race as the 5 guys.

[BigFatMeanie]

Iceberg Drive Inn (note the two 'n's) sucks zonkey. No surprise seeing them come in last.

Agreed. In-n-out might be a better value, but the burger simply isn't as good as 5 guys. Also, I now have to try smashburger as none of the other places on the list compares to Crown, IMO. If smashburger is better, it must be pretty damn good.

I wish Scaddy's had been included.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I tried Smashburger a couple of weeks ago and liked it.

I would rate 5 Guys ahead of In N Out. And 5 Guys has the best fries anywhere.

I need to try Crown Burger again it appears. It has been a long time.
